We’ve travelled from York to Edinburgh and this tour has been a highlight of our trip. Our tour guide tonight was a lad called Ryan. We couldn’t fault him. He was really personable and made the tour not only informative but he was so funny! It was worth every penny! Thanks again Ryan for a brilliant tour!

This tour was amazing. It’s not just about ghosts but about the history of the city and its characters. Our tour guide was Ross. He was welcoming, dramatic and so funny. I would do it 10 times over if we had Ross every time.

The Double Dead Tour with Ryan was a fantastic experience. He was a great story teller and very theatrical. Exactly what you need for this type of tour! The City of the Dead company with keys to enter the Covenanters Prison in Greyfriars Kirkyard so this is a huge added bonus!
